be under construction by the end of September and spend a certain amount of money or he will
lose his tax credits.
Mr. Hanson noted that the major issues are the improvements to Ellis Street.
Mr. Brawner asked about the ingress/egress ability off Haggerty and noted it appears that curb

Director Phill Forbes joined the DRC.) Mr. Thompson and Mr. Certalic discussed the location of
existing water and sewer services.

on this project,

Planner Chris Saunders presented the application. He asked if the information and materials
presented are enough to continue the review or if Mr. Delaney needs to start over and submit new
drawings.
City Engineer Craig Brawner noted he would have an issue with the review of a Site Plan and the
installation of roads and infrastructure without public comment on the subdivision.
Planner Saunders asked if a temporary gravel access road be acceptable. Fire Marshal Chuck
Winn noted he is not in favor of gravel accesses, however, if it were temporary, he could live with
it. Discussion followed on the proposed streets and accesses.
Mr. Brawner noted that the only sewer main that should be allowed is the one to this development
and not for the rest of the site. Mr. Winn asked if they are still planning on sprinklering the whole
building. He noted that on-site hydrants and fire lines have to be shown on the Final Site Plan.
Planner Saunders noted that a list of requirements can be sent to the applicant to allow them time
to resubmit. The review will continue when the new information is received. Mr. Winn noted , if

them. Water/Sewer Interim Superintendent Mike Certahe asked for the timing of phase 2. Mr.
Mannachek described the phasing and the concept.
Discussion followed on the width of dedicated right-of-way, the looping of the water, and the
need to extend 27th street or not.

process rather than a ZMA. Discussion on his question followed. Chairperson/Planner Skelton
noted that the applicants cannot get a decision on the installation of North 27th Avenue until it

can be based upon the merits of the proposal as part of a formal submittal during the P.U.D.

noted that would not be an adequate water supply for fire protection.
Mr. Henderson asked for the setbacks for a mobile home park. Chairperson/Planner Skelton
noted he would need a variance to the yard setbacks. Mr. Henderson asked how sewer would be
connected if he installed mobile homes. Water/Sewer Interim Superintendent Mike Certalic noted
the portion of the sewer that is private. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted that the closest sewer
line is in Story Mill Road near Bridger Golf Course. He noted that there isn't much development
in that area due to the lack of sewer service.
Chairperson/Planner Skelton noted that a zone change from R-S to M-1 would be difficult to
support based on the current mix of land use patterns. He suggested Mr. Henderson meet with
him on Thursday to discuss the matter further.
